Good morning, everyone.
It's time to review our Circle Time Board.
First, let's start with the days of the week,
but I need to get my p.
Who remembers?
Pointer!
That's right, my pointer, my Circle Time pointer.
Now, we'll start with days of the week.
Remember, when you sing days of the week,
you can clap your hands,
you can snap your fingers,
or you can just sing, whatever you choose.
Are you ready?
Great, let's do it.
There's Sunday and there's Monday,
there's Tuesday and there's Wednesday,
there's Thursday and there's Friday,
and then there's Saturday,
days of the week, days of the week,
days of the week.
One more time.
There's Sunday and there's Monday,
there's Tuesday and there's Wednesday,
there's Thursday and there's Friday,
and then there's Saturday,
days of the week, days of the week,
days of the week.
We did it! Great! Now I want to know what day is today. Hmm, let's go over to our
board. And yesterday was Thursday. Remember Dance Party Thursday? We had fun.
Yesterday was Thursday. Now let's go down one. Today is Friday. Today is Friday.
Today is Friday. Today is Friday. All day long. Yes! Today is Friday. Today is Friday.
Today is Friday. All day long. Yes! Yes! Today is Friday. Let's put it on the board.
Today is Friday. Let's read it together. Today is Friday. That's right. And who
remembers the number of the week? That number we've been counting all week. Who
remembers what number it is? The number of the week, I'll give you a clue, has a
1 and a 0 together. Who? You remember? The number of the week is 10. 10, 10, 10. 10 is
the number of the week. All right, let's put 10 on the board. 10 is the number of
the week. Now we have to count. What do we have to count? Something's missing.
Yes, our colored pencils. I found our colored pencils. Now I'm going to place
them on the board. You can help me count aloud. And I want to hear you, so count
nice and loud. Here we go. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 10 colored pencils. Let's
use our pointer to count them. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 10 colored pencils. Thanks
for helping me count. The number of the week was 10, and you've done such a wonderful
job counting. Why don't we write 10 numbers over there on the board, from 1 all the way
through 10. And you can help me count them aloud. Are you ready? Great. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 10. 1 through 10. Now let's count them. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
10 numbers. Now let's move on to our letter of the week. Who remembers the letter of the
week? Every letter makes a sound, and T. T says T. That's right, letter T. All week we've
been talking about letter T, like T for turtle, and T for tiger, and T for toes. Yes, and
you've been finding so many things at home that start with letter T. Today we're going
to practice tracing and writing the letter T. So I'm going to put T on the board. T.
If you need to get crayons, a pencil, maybe a marker and some paper, you can go do that.
You have to pause the video. But if you don't have those things, it's okay. You can use
your pointer finger in the air and practice. You'll do it with me. So now let's head over
to our writing and drawing board. Now let's make some lines going across. Pointer fingers
in the air if you're doing it in the air. Everyone ready? We're going to do four lines.
Ready? Let's go. Across. Another one. Across. Another one. Across. And one more. Across.
There you go. Now let's put our line going down together with the line going across.
So I'm going to go to the middle of this line and make a line going down. You try. And for
those of you using a pointer in the air, you can try too. Make a line going down. Let's
do this one. A line going down. And let's do this one. A line going down. Look at that.
We made lines going across and lines going down to make the letter T. Now why don't we
try and make one all together. Are you ready? Let's go down first, then across. Ready? Let's
go. Down and across. T. Now let's move on to our shape of the week. Who remembers our
shape of the week? It has four sides. Two of the sides are long. Two of the sides are
short. Do you remember? Rectangle. The shape of the week is a rectangle. If you said rectangle,
you're correct. Let's put rectangle on the board. Here we go. The rectangle is on the board. And
let's practice tracing a rectangle in the air. So point a finger up and we're going to trace
the rectangle in the air. Let's go. Across. Down. Across. One more time. We'll do a long line,
short line, another long line, and a short line. The rectangle. The shape of the week was a
rectangle. Great work. Now I want to know, hmm, what's the weather? What's the weather? What's
the weather out today? Is it sunny? Is it cloudy? Is it raining out today? What's the weather where
you live? You may have to look out your window and then come back and tell me what the weather
is where you live. Okay, I'll give you some time. Oh, are you back? Great. Well, what's the weather
where you live? Oh, really? It is? Oh, well, let me find out what the weather is here where I live.
I'm going to look out my window. Hmm. Oh, it's a sunny morning. It is sunny outside. I think I
want to find a picture that represents sunny. Let me get my weather bag. Oh, I have it. Let's see
if we can find a picture that represents sunny. And you can help me. Does this picture represent
sunny? No. Let's save this for a rainy day. How about this picture? Well, this one is partly sunny.
It's clouds and the sun, but it's really sunny out this morning. Let's find a different picture with
just the sun. How about this picture? Is this a sunny day picture? Yes, this is a picture of the
sun. This represents a sunny day. So now let's read it together. The weather is sunny. Yes, it
is. So what's weather bear going to put on today? Hmm, let's see what weather bear is going to put
on. Let me get my weather bear bag. I found his weather bear bag with all of his clothes. And it's
sunny out. Let's start with his favorite blue jeans. I'll put them on. There you go, Mr. Weather
Bear, favorite blue jeans. And it's sunny out today. So do you think weather bear should wear sneakers or
rain boots? What do you think? Rain boots? Let's save those for a rainy day. How about sneakers?
Yes, sneakers. We'll put on his sneakers. And it's a sunny day out, a little warm, not hot though. Do you
think it's hot enough for weather bear to wear his tank top? The one he wears to the beach? No, it's not
time for this tank top yet. It's not hot out, but it's sunny and warm. So maybe weather bear can wear
his hooded sweatshirt. What do you think? Yes, and if he gets cold, he can put his hood on top of his
head. There you go, weather bear. What do you think? Is he ready to go? I think so too. Why don't we...
Oh, what's that? What did you say? A cap? A cap? Do you think weather bear should put on a cap?
Oh, we do have a cap. Green cap or his blue cap? Oh, blue to match his jeans? Let's see how the blue
looks to match his jeans. Oh, and guess what? Since the cap has a little visor here, it will protect him
from the sun, so it won't be so sunny in his eyes. I think weather bear is ready for the day. What do
you think? Yes, great. Now, we reviewed the entire circle time board and we even did some writing with
the letter T. I think it's time to pick a circle time song. Let's choose. I found our circle time
song cards. Here they go. Now, this is the song that was on top. Do you remember this song? Yes,
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Have you sung that song before? If you've come to my circle, you may
have sung it with me. We sang it once before. Let's do it again, and since this is the end of our week
and we won't see each other again until Monday, let's sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star because
it's a calm, slow song, and we're going to bring it down and calm our bodies before we go. Are you
ready to sing? Get ready. Get ready. Here we go. Twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you
are. Up above the world so high like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder
what you are. That's it. Thank you for coming to my circle. I had such a wonderful time with you today
and all week, actually. I can't wait to see you on Monday. Have a great weekend with your families.
See you soon. Bye.
